Wondering if you can 'handle' death scenes?

Take this course to expand your forensic knowledge and increase your investigative skills.

Death Investigation involves determining how and why a person died and being a forensic professional, you need to become aware of the many aspects of a death scene. Forensic evidence, history of decedent, how the body was found, and the scene itself, can help determine the events leading to a person's death. In addition, forensic professionals are expected to apply critical thinking when investigating unique scenes.

This webinar replay will focus upon Positional Asphyxiation--the asphyxia takes place in circumstances when the victim's body assumes an abnormal position compromising the process of respiration. The diagnosis is usually based on circumstantial evidence in conjunction with excluding other significant underlying causes of death and as a forensic professional you are a vital part of an investigative team, your investigative skills can provide valuable information.

This presentation--divided into two parts-- reviews the history and purpose the coroner/medical examiner system, medical terms and definitions, types of asphyxia, case studies, scene photos, and related evidence found on scene and at autopsy. The scene photos allows you to examine the scenes allowing you to follow the conclusions of the death scenes.

This webinar is one of several in our Death Investigation Series.
